Pick ANY one. Take your time. When you get done, I'll accept that apology. And seeing that The Movement was started in YOUR city, seems you are a little bit uninformed.
I will NEVER apologize to you for anything! Regardless of how you beg me to in your childish personal message asking me to "please show [you] the lie 'chicagoan'"

I don't want to be informed about you and your BLM, "The Movement," or any of your other radical organizations!

Now go bother someone else.....at least you won't be able to rep me again for a while to leave some childish message!!!!

Only in Chicago would the mayor give his blessing and tell state police to back off.

You know...to give the appearance that he cares.

The irony seems lost on the protesters. They march against gun violence, yet these same people have weakened the police force with their incessant protests and outcries against the police. It is a fact that the Chicago police have not been as effective in cracking down on gangs because they are too afraid of being held liable for their actions.

March organized by “ Father Mike”, a white Priest and Activist.

The state is responsible for hwys.

CPD is responsible for the streets.

The March was permitted.

Perhaps he's spent some time in France, where the French feel it's therapeutic to protest like that and vent one's anger!

Did you happen to see the coverage of the latest rounds of protests in France? They seem to be always protesting something over there!

It was fully permitted.

Do you understand why I have a very big issue with someone from area with one of the lowest rates of legal gun ownership and crime rates through the roof trying to restrict my access to guns?
